State-run media

New episode of City Beat taped this morning. We talked about Cynthia Kurtz' resignation, the ad-hoc committee meeting and had a redundant conversation about Muir (see two weeks ago.)

It will probably be this reporter's last. With stories due for the looming weekend, Fridays are the worst day at a newspaper. I didn't leave until after 8 p.m.

Truth is, the semi-punditry isn't really a comfortable space to be in, particularly when I loathe the broadcast heads that move so quickly between being a reporter and a pundit in different time-slots that you have no idea to which you're listening.

At least I was able to perform my good deed for the month. KPAS staffer Brandy (Brandi? I have no idea what anyone's last name or title is there) scooped up an errant Chihuahua named Benji scampering around the Hen's Teeth Square parking lot, which we loaded into my Toyota and deposited behind the fence of his home over on El Molino.
